    Lin Renzhao had never seen what the new army was like. Wang Dan, the commander of the Kongli Army, let alone the power of the new army.  According to the imperial edict, Lin Renzhao's Donghai Navy will temporarily station the new army at the dock of Zhenzhou after sending the new army to Korea.  In order to transport the officers and soldiers of the New Army anytime and anywhere, go north or south along the coast to conduct mobile operations.  In his edict, Li Zhongyi made it very clear that Zhang Sanzheng had the final say on where to attack and how to attack.  As for the process of mobile troop transport at sea, one must listen to Lin Renzhao's command.  This fundamentally solves the problem of the rights and responsibilities of the navy and land divisions in coordinated operations.  "The military order Wang Dan received was that the imperial army's original control of Li was under the control of Zhang Sanzheng, the First Assistant Commander.  In other words, Zhang Sanzheng became the supreme commander of the imperial army stationed in Goryeo.  When unloading the ship, the new officers and soldiers, all wearing big-brimmed hats, carrying rifles on their shoulders, backpacks on their backs, black belts around their waists, and military boots on their feet, filed off the ship.  Wang Dan, who was standing next to Zhang Sanzheng, was dumbfounded. Is this still the Imperial Forbidden Army?  Wang Dan also knew the news that the imperial court was organizing a new army and that the new army was equipped with flintlock rifles.  When Wang Dan returned to Beijing to see his Majesty, he also saw the power of flintlock volleys under Li Zhongyi's deliberate arrangement.  But at that time, it was the craftsmen of the gun shop who were testing the guns, and they were wearing variegated civilian clothes.  Now, as soon as the new army soldiers in the standard gray-green military uniforms appeared, Wang Dan was amazed!  So beautiful!  Go ashore a shed, just a team of the whole team.  When a team is gathered, form a team.  "Everyone is here, stand at attention!" "I order the first battalion to guard the east side of the pier, the second battalion to guard the west side of the pier, and the third battalion to act as a reserve and rest in place" When all members of the first bidder have landed,  , Biaotong Zheyukou immediately ordered that each battalion quickly occupy the favorable terrain near Zhenzhou Pier and lay down a three-layer defense net to guard against enemy sneak attacks.  Originally, when the soldiers of the new army lined up, although Wang Dan was amazed, he didn't feel too intuitive.  However, when the soldiers of the new army started to move, Wang Dan was almost shocked.  The Imperial Forbidden Army is an army that pays the most attention to orderly formation. Wang Dan¡¯s own troops are soldiers and horses in orderly formation.  However, after the soldiers of the New Army formed a defensive formation, they immediately split into several small units.  There were nearly a hundred people in a crowd, including more than thirty people in a row, a total of three queues.  Wang Dan was dumbfounded. When the Forbidden Army deployed their defenses, shouldn't they form a collective formation?  In the old Forbidden Army, the combat philosophy generally accepted by officers and soldiers was that the formation should be thick, at least ten layers high, to prevent the light cavalry raids of the northern barbarians.  The emergence of new rifles determines new tactics.  The old Forbidden Army generals who cannot adapt to this change will sooner or later be thrown far away by the wheel of history.  After Zhang Sanzheng took control of Wang Dan's Li control force, the first order he issued was to implement military control at Zhenzhou Pier.  The defense on the outside of the pier is taken care of by the Kongli Army, while the inside of the pier is taken care of by the First Association.  On the pier, officers, soldiers and equipment of the counter-rebellion forces were disembarking continuously.  The Donghai Navy commanded by Lin Renzhao is also a well-trained force.  When unloading the ships, the old rules were followed, with five large ships docked side by side on the shore of the pier.  Between the big ships and the big ships, a wide springboard has been set up. Whether it is a grain truck or a 12-pound gun truck, they can pass without hindrance.  As early as when he boarded the ship in Binzhou, Zhang Sanzheng had actually experienced the extremely high efficiency of the Donghai Navy.  Unlike the Yellow River Navy, the Donghai Navy¡¯s loading and unloading is more professional and efficient.  Zhang Sanzheng saw clearly that the sailors of the Donghai Navy actually ordered dozens of sets of standard thick ropes specially used for hoisting artillery.  With the help of the sailors, the artillery gun was put on a special rope while it was still in the cabin.  When the cannons were unloaded from the ship, even the heavy 12-pound cannons were dragged by dozens of ropes with hooks and slid smoothly and orderly from the gangplank of the ship to the dock.  This efficiency is more than ten times faster than the unloading of artillery at the Kaifeng military dock!  ¡°Well, Lin Renzhao does have a few brushes, Zhang Sanzheng nodded secretly.  The new combined army of infantry and cavalry artillery spends much more time than the traditional Forbidden Army, whether boarding or unloading the ship.  There is no way. The New Army has a lot of extra weapons and equipment, including more than a hundred artillery pieces. Loading, unloading and transportation are not easy.  Especially things like ammunition trucks,??Hand it with care.  If you are not careful, it will be a huge disaster if it explodes on the dock.  The unloading operation went on for a day and a night, and finally, all the equipment and baggage of the first target were finally ashore.  Zhenzhou Wharf has a very deep draft and is the only large-scale ship wharf near Kaijing. It is of extremely great military significance.  Zhang Sanzheng ordered Wang Dan, commander of the Li Army, to lead troops to garrison Zhenzhou Pier to ensure the safety of the army's retreat.  With Zhang Sanzheng¡¯s order, all the officers and soldiers of the First Association left Zhenzhou Pier in a mighty manner and marched towards Kaijing, the capital of Goryeo.  Wang Dan stood on the watchtower at the highest point of the pier, holding a monocular in his hand, looking at the backs of the officers and soldiers of the First Association marching quickly for a long time.  The dazzling cold light completely covered the long gray-green dragon.  Wang Dan knew that it was the bayonet on the soldiers' rifles.  From Zhenzhou Pier to the foot of Kaijing City, it is about one hundred and fifty miles.  With the marching speed of the new army, it can be reached in one day by a forced march.  A normal march would take two days.  Before leading the army to quell the rebellion this time, Li Zhongyi summoned Zhang Sanzheng and gave him face-to-face instructions.  The farmers of Koryo were forced to rebel. In addition to the excessive exploitation by the Li Han Empire, there was another fundamental factor. The officials and gentry within Koryo were too greedy.  Therefore, the counter-rebellion strategy instructed by Li Zhongyi was to allow Zhang Sanzheng to ensure that the opening of the capital was safe, and to connive with the rebels of Goryeo and plunder Goryeo officials and gentry everywhere.  No matter what, the current officials in Goryeo are all evil dogs raised by Li Zhongyi.  These evil dogs helped Li Zhongyi drain the blood of the Goryeo Kingdom and feed the 300,000 forbidden troops of the Li Han Empire.  Dogs are too greedy and eat meat too harshly. Li Zhongyi can kill a group of dogs to establish his authority.  However, he could not order all the dogs that were kneeling and licking to be killed.  At this time, the strategy of killing with a borrowed knife came into being.  The mobs were killing the beauties and vicious dogs raised by Li Zhongyi in various places. Zhang Sanzheng followed the mobs like a yellow bird, and robbed the gold, silver, copper coins and other frivolous wealth that the mobs had stolen.  Li Zhongyi knew very well that allowing the mob to kill dogs would definitely cause chaos in Goryeo.  The amount of food that the Goryeo Kingdom supplies to the imperial army every year will not be restored to its original state within three years.  However, after more than ten years of blood-drawing, Koryo became increasingly poorer, while food piled up in Changpingcang all over the Han Empire.  If we continue to draw blood in Korea, not only will Korea no longer be able to sustain it, but the grain in the Changping warehouse directly under the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Li Han Empire will also be too much to be piled up.  The low price of grain hurts farmers, but the high price of grain will still hurt farmers.  The logic is very simple. Food is the most basic strategic material in agricultural society. If the price of food skyrockets, all industries will skyrocket.  ¡°In the end, when farmers buy daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., they have to pay a heavy price.  Li Zhongyi would rather bury the food he got from blood sucking from Korea than sell it on the market.  "Report, a large number of fleeing Goryeo civilians have been found ahead." The reconnaissance team scolded, promptly reporting the abnormal situation in front of the official road.  Zhang Sanzheng nodded and ordered the Korean interpreters who had come to control the rationing of the Li army. He sent an interpreter to follow Kuhou on horseback to inquire about the situation.  In this era, due to Li Zhongyi¡¯s deliberate actions, the imperial examination texts in Goryeo were all Chinese characters, the official language was also Chinese, and Goryeo could only be used privately at home.  However, the Koreans who are proficient in Chinese are basically the officials, gentry and wealthy businessmen of the Kingdom of Korea.  Ordinary people in Goryeo are almost all illiterate. They still cannot read Chinese characters and cannot speak Chinese.  This requires a Korean interpreter who is attached to the Han Empire!  This time when the First Association marched to Beijing, Wang Dan sent more than thirty Korean interpreters in a considerate manner, because he was worried that the language barrier would easily cause unnecessary trouble.  While taking a short rest on the way, Kuhou came back with the Korean translator Zheng Tongyi, accompanied by several Koreans tied behind their backs on horses.  Zhang Sanzheng squinted his eyes and looked at the Koreans tied to the horse. He only saw that they were dressed in green silk and looked like businessmen.  Zheng Tongyi dismounted and ran quickly to Zhang Sanzheng. He knelt down and kowtowed. After getting up, he nodded and bowed and said: "Come to Zhang Shuai, these people captured are all spies who slipped out from near Kaijing.  These bitches have hidden a lot of secret treasures, and they are really worthy of punishment." Zhang Sanzheng knew in his heart that this Zheng Tongyi was a flattering villain at first glance.  What he meant behind the scenes was that he wanted to dedicate his country's businessmen, along with the property they brought out, to Zhang Sanzheng as a favor.    "Have you all been interrogated?" Zhang Sanzheng ignored Zheng Tongyi and turned to ask his accuser.  The scoundrel closed his legs, raised his hands in a military salute, and said loudly: "Report to the general, the rebels are besieging Tushan City outside Kaijing. These people are businessmen and civilians who escaped from Kaijing" From  From the day the army was founded, Li Zhongyi attached great importance to the role of reprimands.  There is already a fixed template for reporting military information to avoid missing important military information.  Zhang Sanzheng nodded. The rebels did not have heavy siege equipment yet, so they first took a small town near Beijing to practice.  In other words, Kaijing City has not yet been truly besieged by the rebels, and is still in the hands of the small court of Goryeo.  "Zheng Tongyi, go to Kaijing City and tell the Goryeo general who is guarding the city that the imperial reinforcements will arrive in the near future and tell him to hold on for a few days. If you dare to abandon the city and flee, don't blame the ruthless military law." Zhang Sanzheng dismissed.  After leaving Zheng Tongyi, he led the army to the original mountains sixty miles away from Kaijing, camped far away from the official road, and did not want to leave.
